Description

Postman - The Most popular API tool to build Automated API/WebServices Tests with very minimal code in quick and easy way.
This tool comes with Powerful JavaScript editor (Postman object) which helps us to perform various assertions inside the tool to validate your API Tests.
This course starts from the scratch with Postman fundamentals and then gives you the deeper understanding on various ready made Postman features to build Framework like Variables, Environments, Workflows, Data driven components and Pm object which helps to quickly Setup Automation lab for Testing.

Postman Supports various types of Services like Rest API's , Soap Web services, GraphQL Testing. etc. There is discussion on how to automate all these services types with the examples in the course.

This tool comes with Powerful Integration of NewMan tool to run the Automated Tests from CLI which can also be Integrated with Jenkins for CI/CD Integration.

All the above features are clearly demonstrated in the course with real time examples from Scratch along with API Authorizations like OAuth.
